Can you point out the given week that there were only one or two guys out on defense?
Week 1 against the Rams. White was out. I think that's the only game. Oliver was hurt in the Rams game and Hyde and Jackson were hurt game 2 against the Titans.

And you won't get targets if your not getting open.
I find it hard to believe he's covered every play.

Well he had 35 snaps (64%) against Detroit. Either he aint getting open or Josh doesnt want to throw him the ball. Thats plenty of looks in a game to do something.
You can't do anything if you don't get targets or touches.

I dunno but he has played 25% of the snaps on the season and 44% of the snaps against Detroit. Got his second biggest opportunity of the season against Detroit and did nothing with it. Dude is invisible.
No targets at all. Hard to blame him unless he never got open which I highly doubt.

I did not catch that. It could just be they like Rhodes better right now and Benford had an injury so he got sat down even it it was gonna just be a couple weeks.
Yeah could be. Rousseau said last year was a long year being a rookie. Curious if Benford is starting to hit that rookie wall as well.

I wonder if Rhodes or another team was pushing the issue.
FWIW, yesterday at his presser, McD said Benford was week to week with an oblique injury.

Just give me win # 9. That's all I care about. Anybody still thinking about win # 7 against the Browns? I didn't think so.

I'm just glad they won. It wasn't their "A" game and Detroit had won three in a row. Definitely some things to clean up. They need to get healthy. It's not an excuse but just reality. Their 2nd string guys are second string for a reason.

Then do nothing when you get the free kick. Lions down 5 and have all the momentum. I think we all know there's a good chance of the Bills losing this game.
Keep them positive vibes coming dude!

What happened to Dawkins?
-
He's done a nice job this year. Much better than Star. Blocked a FG attempt this past game.

Quessenberry is our #3 OT right now, I don't think they risk him starting at Guard.
Van Roten is now the only backup to Bates at Center, so I don't think he starts, which leaves us with Bobby Hart at RG.
True, I forgot about Hart.

I'd say "Good" because I thought Bates did a perfectly capable job at center when he's gotten the chance, but then who plays RG and what effect does that have on the running game, which finally looked as though it were getting tuned up?
It looked like 75 Van Roten was at RG in the short clip shown up thread. I think Quessenberry would get the start at RG if Bates at C.

Bates was snapping the ball to Allen during media viewing portionWas Quessenberry at RG?
19 minutes ago, Beck Water said:This is hindsight of course, but I wish we could have traded up for Pickens. Have been impressed by what I've seen of him.
But overall to your point....since Beane took over, the offensive picks in the first 3 rounds are Cody Ford, Spencer Brown, and 3 RBs. Two of those 5 players are no longer in the building.
Beane did draft Allen and traded for Diggs but I see your point. Really need to keep the WR room loaded as long as 17 is around.

I would add that we are not getting the production from McKenzie, that we got from our former slot receiver who I shall not name due to the political leanings of this board. Either it is the play calling or simply McKenzie can't get open in the slot not sure which is the cause.
I'd add that Allen doesn't trust him as far as catching the ball. McKenzie has some of the damndest things happen to him regarding ball security.

They really miss Beasley, or at least Beasley in his prime. He was a zone killer, and the Bills don't have anyone like that. If you take Diggs out, like the Browns seemed to, and there's not much left. A better run game will help, but Beane gambled that either McKenzie or Crowder could step up. Hasn't worked out that way. Like other posters here, I'd say it's time for Shakir, Cook, and Hines.
I agree. I fully expected them to take a WR in the 2nd round to make up for Beasley's departure.

Yeah, I listened to the Dorsey press conference, and there was one media member who was aware, and actually pressed Dorsey on usage of Hines and McKenzie's lack of productivity the entire season.
I share the concern among other fans here that we are getting nothing out of the slot right now.
I would add Shakir to that question. They don't give him any targets as well. I know he's a rookie but we're 10 games into the season.

A reasonable offer would be the going contract deal for a solid #2 reduced by his drop rate.
Beane will figure it out. Players definitely want to play with Allen.

Starting to think OBJ thing is nothing but hype. He was hurt in the Super Bowl. I think he'll sign a big deal in March when free agency begins and there's more money and more teams available.

Well our media only seems to be asking how it feels to have Josh Allen, or what it means to them to get their driveway shoveled.
Instead of something like, Brandon Beane told the media that Nyheim Hines would be used all over the field, in the slot, catching screens, handoffs, motion plays. Why has he only been used as a special teams player and not in the offense?
But I guess a better question of your OC or Head Coach is what does it mean to you that Detroit shared their stadium on short notice?
My hope is the Bills are installing plays specifically for Hines and waiting to use them against AFC East opponents.

My ideal situation is Davis signs a team friendly deal to be our #3 receiver next season and beyond and Beane finds a legitimate dependable #2 for this offense next year and going forward.
I don't disagree but Davis will want to be paid. His uneven play makes it tricky for Beane. They definitely need another receiver in the mix.

Thanks for your manifesto. He almost blew the game with fumbling the onsides kick
Yep and his drop in the red zone, early in the game, kept the Bills offense in a funk.

I think that was Taiwan Jones.
And that ball couldn't have been advanced anyways. Even if he recovers it, by rule it's down at that spot.
Is that a new rule about advancing an onside kick? Hyde advanced one for a TD a few years back.

The Bills would most likely fly from Niagara Falls Airport
They might have their own snow plow to get them there.

Bills get on the magic bus from the stadium and have a snowplow escort to the airport!
